Zany Olympics

Well, the "zany Olympics" youth group activity today was pretty zany. They started off with a devotion having to do with Olympics (from the passage about running the race and all that kind o' stuf). Then they held a ceremony where Mr. Mitten ran around the sanctuary twice carrying a fake torch, then "lit" the big torch, which was on a pedestal. After that everybody was split into teams and the games began. The first game was the "bottle race". 4 baby bottles were filled with Pepsi and then 4 volunteers (one from each team) drank it as fast as they could. It was funny to see them sucking so hard on the bottles. Then we had to do other stuff like fishing for mints in a vat of flour using only your mouth; fishing for rubber frogs in a tub of gooey rice with your foot; reaching into a bag and eating whatever you pull out as fast as you can(that was probably the weirdest and funniest one 'cause the food items were things like candied yams, Vienna sausages, carrot baby food, pudding, chicken bouillon cubes, and chewy candy:P) ; wrapping a person in a whole roll of toilet paper and then getting them to run across the floor of Hodge's Hall without letting the toilet paper rip; bobbing for apples as well as onions; feeding a donut covered in chocolate on the end of a string to a person laying on the ground with their mouth open; running a relay race while holding a spoon with an egg on it in your mouth; and probably other stuff! Yep, it was fun.
